“5.1 GPA on a 4.0, so the 5.1 is weighted. Her unweighted GPA is 3.99 (I think). Since 9th grade all honors classes, plus to date 4 AP’s, 4 more AP’s 12 grade.”

That is statistically impossible on a 4.0…might want to recheck. That means base courses such a FL1 and 2 are 4.0 as would be PE. Honors are 4.5 and AP 5.0. 8 AP’s wouldn’t come close to raising the gpa that high.

Weighted GPA is generally meaningless when the weighting system is not specified. Some weighting systems can result in 5.x or 6.x GPAs, based on some people’s posts on these forums.
